  • Rian got a call from a well know Queensland racing driver, Gordon Clough, about a car that he had decided to put to auction. We drove out to Gordon's house and were presented with an immaculate VN SS Group A Commodore that Gordon had purchased new in 1990. Gordon showed us the car and shared a bit of his history with the car.
    The car is completely original and unrestored and in near perfect condition. It comes complete with all logbooks, paperwork, documentation and even a service book.

    It is the VNSS (in Atlas Grey) and VNSS Group A that inspired my love of Aussie performance cars. Great to see such a wonderful example and would be sad to see it go. I have owned an AUXR8 for 20 years and can't bear the thought of getting rid if it. Have also had a VYSS wagon for about 13 years and can't imagine letting that go either

    vc commodore is the blue series motor and they had the pollution gear on them. choked the motor up and gave pretty bad fuel ecconomy. i had a vc 4.2 v8. the red motor was better , pre pollutuion in the kingswoods and toranas . beautiful car love the vn group a always have.

      @Chris-xu6wy you must have had an absolute dud then. The electronic ignition, the four barrel carby, so much better. I noticed a massive difference when I fitted rotchestor to my red 253 and the blue motor ignition with no other changes. I've had heaps of them and they were a lot better
